The project proposes a fibrecraft-focused folk university, aiming to reduce the current wastage of 50% of Swedish Wool. Inspired by Sweden’s rich textile history, architectural spaces are reimagined through the lens of fibrecrafts and their textile properties, informing spatial logic and thermal properties within the building.

Wool is recontextualised as a building material, forming woolbricks, which interlock in a manner mimicking that of various crochet stitches, allowing direct translation from a crochet pattern to a physically built wall, reimagining crochet as method for architectural communication. The building’s construction further draws from knitted construction, being worked both linearly and in the round, further allowing for seamless translation between drawn patterns and physically built architecture.

Through crochet notation drawings, used as a method of mapping and informing architectural qualities, the project interrogates fibrecrafts and their relationship to architecture, ultimately reimagining crochet notation as an architectural system and questioning what architecture may learn from fibrecrafts.
